Ancient duplication events and a high rate of retention of extant pairs of duplicate genes
have contributed to an abundance of duplicate genes in plant genomes. These duplicates …

Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil-producing crop for the world. Its
adaptation, yield and quality have been considerably improved in recent decades, but the …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

Both plants and animals rely on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-
containing (NLR) proteins to respond to invading pathogens and activate immune …

Despite hundreds of sequenced Arabidopsis genomes, very little is known about the degree
of genomic collinearity within single species, due to the low number of chromosome-level …

Natural variants of crops are generated from wild progenitor plants under both natural and
human selection. Diverse crops that are able to adapt to various environmental conditions …

Uncovering the genetic basis of agronomic traits in crop landraces that have adapted to
various agro-climatic conditions is important to world food security. Here we have …

Genomes at the species level are dynamic, with genes present in every individual (core) and
genes in a subset of individuals (dispensable) that collectively constitute the pan-genome …

A high-density haplotype map recently enabled a genome-wide association study (GWAS)
in a population of indica subspecies of Chinese rice landraces. Here we extend this …
